I didn't take a picture of it because I am a moron, but it is a piece that has a huge tab that locks out reverse unless you pull the lockout ring up, so now the shifter can travel. Mine is broken to ****.

Can I buy the little plastic piece, or do I need a whole shifter?

 

Mine was worn away. You don't need it.

Plenty of cars have reverse in the same position without a reverse lock out.

 

If you don't have the lockout working, don't you have to hunt for 5th?

 

Nope. I was always under the impression you needed it but after adjusting my sts it doesn't even get near the stop.

 

Yeah I re-adjusted the shifter and I don't have to hunt for 5th anymore. The lockout ring just clicks when I move into 1-2 range because of the damn broken plastic and the spring pops on it. ughhhhhhhhhhh

 

Order a short throw. I love mine and haven't noticed a downside.

 

Yeah I am about to. GF gonna murder me

 

Easier to say I'm sorry than it is to ask permission.

 

hahahaha story of my life. Which STS did you get? I'm looking at BPS and OTTP

 

BPS. Being in Canada I didn't get screwed over with exchange rates.

As of last week BPS had a sale going on theirs.

 

I see. Do they not come with shift knobs?

 

Not included but they have them. I'm using a stock knob.

 

How is the BPS short throw shifter? I like the stock one but want some input on a good short throw for a decent price...

 

get the ottp sts. you will not be dissapointed. great product. i loved mine while it was on my car for 2 years before i sold the car and the new owner told me he loves the sts he was gonna get a TWM but loves the ottp lol

 

I ordered the BPS. uses stock knob and comes with bushings... only $160

 

oh ok nice, you get the cable clamp??. i will say this though, having the nice weighted knob was soooo nice on the ottp sts lol. made shifting really nice

 

I didn't get the cable clamp. I don't plan on beating the **** out of the car....yet

Once I do, ill get the clamp, and a new knob

 

ok haha. the cable clamp is nice because its def there for to make you feel a little better about ripping through the gears lol. i broke one of mine racing an ls2 gto as soon i went into 3rd the clamp busted haha. i had that ****** too but i made sure it would never happen again lol.

there ya go man

 

Just installed the shifter. Soooo much better. I can find fifth!!!! And it's short

 

Glad you like it.

BPS makes great products.
